dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

I heard this was similar to The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. It was actually pretty different though. The story was pretty unique and took a direction I wasn’t expecting. I did end up enjoying it though. It was a quick read that kept me hooked throughout. I’m glad I picked it up!

It started out okay but the twist was very weird and really out there. Definitely didn't see that coming but it wasn't in a fun way. It was kinda dumb honestly in my opinion but it just kinda came out of left field. 
The twist was kinda uncomfortable since we are following the story of a new doctor and his patient at an asylum in the early 2000s.
